The Word Family

[BaDaNgEl]

What do you think the word family means?

[Lonnie]

Two parents, mother and father, one or more children, a secure homelife, at least one meal a day where the whole family can eat together, preferably at a table, with the tv turned off, and again, preferably at the same time of day.

[mycats]

A family consists of a domestic group of people (or a number of domestic groups), typically affiliated by birth or marriage, or by analogous or comparable relationships � including domestic partnership, cohabitation, adoption.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights says: "The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State".

[AniaSM]

I think family means those you love and not just your husband and biological kin.
